The officials will be aware that one nursing home was taken under operational control as a result of a catastrophic situation which unfolded in April. We still do not know what criteria triggered the RCSI to take control of the nursing home in question. For the sake of future planning and in order that we can learn from what happened, will the HSE advise what threshold applied to trigger such an unprecedented response from a hospital group?
